We just ordered a
brand new sign for the zoo and here are a few pictures of the frame that
will support it. The sign frame was made from old square guard rails. They
are galvanized so the frame will last a long time but it took a very good
welder to secure the pieces together and a special paint that would adhere
to it. Because of our long winters, I picked a bright green paint to make it
always seem sunny. The last picture is the new sign just installed to help visitors find there
way to our zoo.. |

This is our new bridge being built. The bridge is being built where the mountain slopes toward my barn which every spring would flood with the run off from melted snow off the mountain. I dug a two foot deep ditch, laid telephone poles that were at least twenty inches thick down. The poles were donated. The bridge is 36' wide and 10' across. My son Bob and I finished it 5-14-08 and put shale up to it because the ground here has allot of clay which gets real messy after a rain.

Here we are getting ready to pour the foundation that will house our exotics and in the back is the new fence around the new alligator enclosure. Winter here at Unadilla with all the ice and snow has really slowed down our work but with warmer weather now and the help of our volunteers things are really coming together.. |

Here's a picture of our Fox and Wallaby pens.. We've just added a new top to each pen to keep them drier and to shade them a little from the hot sunshine in the summer. Around the zoo, we are always in need of volunteers to help us help our animals have a happy and safe home..

This is the start of the first section of our new pavilion. This will house the restrooms for our visitors at the Zoo. Summer is here at the Zoo but here in Unadilla, NY, summer is short and there's a lot of work to be done before winter once again covers the Zoo in snow and ice..

The first picture is the frozen pond which will be the new home for our capybaras. With the beginning of spring here at the zoo and the help of some volunteers, the new home for our capybaras is starting to take shape.. The ground here is very hard and the holes for the fence post had to be drilled. Now the fence is being put up and is almost ready. As you can see here at the zoo, we are always in need of volunteers all the time.

Our new Bob Cats are here!! We just got the cage ready in time but we still have more work before it's completed. We still need to add a safety fence around their cages to keep our visitors a safe distance from their enclosesure. We are also going to add a roof to their cage to give them some shelter from the summer sun. They are beautiful animals and will make a great addition to our Zoo. I'm sure they will be a hit with all the visitors.
